Jay-Z's Kingdom Come

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

D/l it a few minutes ago. So far, I'm just not that impressed. I truly don't understand how people feel his music that much. He may be able to put some songs together, but there's no way I'd ever buy an album of his. They aren't worth $10 to me. He should've stayed retired. The greatest rapper alive... [Roll Eyes]

Best song is with a beat by Swizz Beatz. I remember 5 years ago when he was big, and kind of died out with Ruff Ryders/DMX. Seems within the past year he's blowing up again and nearly every song he produces has great instrumentals.

I realize it's been discussed, but as a side note since it's relevant to my topic, Game's new album is garbage. He definately went for the West Coast early 90's genre but it's just not fitting. I was truly looking forward to that album. He has maybe one or two good looks on the album, and that's it, tops.

What's with rap's hyped albums lately? Hopefully Jeezy's album will produce. Think I'll just stick to 80's music and the doobie brothers until someone can make something worth listening to.

his new album might not be that good but the black album and grey album are two of the best cd's i have ever heard.i think games new album is ok, not as good as the first though.

I'll admit that black was a decent album, much better than 'kingdom come'. Still, to me it's not what it's hyped up to be. Lucky for him he's got a long list of friends to produce his tracks. Otherwise I don't think he'd be staying afloat anymore.

Also, the grey album is a mixture of beatle's & black produced by someone with no ties to jay-z so, I don't think it's fair to categorize that as his album since he technically had nothing to do with the production of that cd. Actually I don't even know if there was a true "production" run. Regardless, I think I'm just tired of hearing about how great he is.

/bitter rant (for now)

Jay-Z is wackness. He has bit snoop dogg lyrics before, 2 pac, Biggie, etc. Gay-Z is a joke and the only thing I respect about him is puttin it in beyonce's ***.

Just listened to the whole album.....can i have that hour of my life back?!

all Jay-Z's prev albums > Kingdom Come.

There were a few tracks that were good but not enough to make me wanna buy the CD.

On The Game note, I really didnt like his CD eitgher,had a few nice beats and a few tight 16 bars but not any good Whole songs.Guess were gonna have to wait till Nas drops and hope he doesnt put out a BS record.

I guess I'll say it. Look into the underground. Some of the indie artists have great albums

I skimmed it and it seemed pretty lackluster to me so far.
